5 Ways to Give Back This Season

The holiday season tends to get many of us in the mood to give and give back to other people, and it’s a great way to spend the season! There are a bunch of things you can do to get started giving back this year, but if you are stuck for ideas, here’s a few to get you started:

1. Give someone a hand . Sometimes the simplest gestures mean the most! Do you know someone who needs some extra help cooking? Make them a casserole or some cookies. How about someone who’s too busy to clean? Do some house cleaning or hire a maid service for them. One helping hand can make all the difference for someone.

2. Volunteer! There are organizations in every city that need extra hands, especially as things get busy this time of year. If you have time in your schedule, find a place to put your hands to work for someone else.

3. Donate to a charity. What do you give the kind-hearted person who has everything? A gift to a charity with their name on it!

Donating in someone’s honor is not only a heart-warming sentiment for your loved one, but also a great help to the charity!

4. Bring a gift to share. Want to see your coworkers’ faces light up? Bring in something you can share with everyone. It might not be anything big, but some homemade cookies or small ornaments can light up a room in no time.

5. Get the kids involved. The biggest way anyone can give back is to get the children in their lives involved. Grab your kids, nieces, nephews, or grandkids and help them volunteer or donate or go caroling in the neighborhood or bake cookies for neighbors—now that’s the gift that keeps on giving everyone’s always talking about!
